Size: S

After some time using them, they are good gloves but still imperfect. I am not greatly convinced by them for bushcrafting. They are no sturdier than other leather gloves I have had, and their issue of being a different size from one hand to the other makes them cumbersome to use every time.

All in all, I’m very satisfied with these gloves! 👍 However, before buying them, you should know that they are quite stiff at first—almost like a board 😅 You need to wear them for a while so the leather softens and adapts better to your hand. So give them a little time before forming a final judgment. I also recommend waterproofing the gloves before the first heavy use and regularly treating the leather with a suitable leather balm or leather grease. That should hopefully keep it supple for longer and in good condition. In practical use, they have impressed me. When carrying firewood, they protect my hands very well. They have also proven themselves around the campfire. I have even used them to move hot objects, but one thing is absolutely clear here: these are not heat-resistant protective gloves! So do not rely on them to protect you from high temperatures or direct contact with fire. 😉 For fine work, on the other hand, they are rather unsuitable. They are simply too bulky, and finger mobility is limited. But honestly: who buys gloves like these to crochet in them? 😂 I do have one small criticism, though: on my pair, the drawstring at the wrist tore. Personally, that does not bother me much, and I can live with it. Still, in my opinion, the manufacturer could make this part a bit more robust. My conclusion: I am satisfied with the gloves. They protect my hands when carrying wood and are well suited for various kinds of work outdoors. You just need a little patience while breaking them in, regular leather care, and an awareness of their limits when using them near fire. If you are looking for sturdy leather gloves for outdoor and camping use, I think they are definitely worth considering. 👍

Quality control problem: one finger on one glove was one centimeter too long. Ring finger on left-hand glove. Can't comment on performance because I am returning them.

Not yet used in bushcrafting situations but these leather gloves should be satisfactory. However, I do have a regret about the size (I chose S), it fits well on one hand, but is difficult on the other, and when you look at the seams, you can clearly see that one glove is tighter than the other. A shame for this price.

The gloves were made very carefully and aesthetically. Everything is perfected at a very high level, and the materials used leave no doubts. Inside, they are very flexible and, after choosing the right size, they fit perfectly on the hand.

Great product. Very comfortable and they look so nice it's almost a shame to use them. I gave them to my father-in-law for his birthday, and he said these are gloves for church, not for hard work xD

The gloves are very comfortable to use. Compared to welding gloves I've had before, these are unbeatable. They are very durable – they've endured a lot and are still intact. In this time, other cheaper gloves would already be worn out. I'm curious myself how much longer they'll last. After a year of use, I can say I am completely satisfied.

I also think that the drawstring could be better – it tends to loosen, and the loose strings can be annoying – I shortened mine and just left small knots without ends. Aside from that, the gloves themselves are great: very comfortable, they provide a secure grip and excellent protection while working, for example with wood or near fire. I highly recommend them.

The solution with the drawstring is not very effective. While working, even if it is tightened, the string starts to loosen and does not serve its purpose well. However, the gloves themselves and the materials used are of excellent quality. The leather fits the hand perfectly, and the grip in the gloves is very secure. Highly recommended.

The gloves are comfortable and have an aesthetic appearance.
